City of Rocks Mountain Biking
In south-east Idaho’s ranch country, City of Rocks is well known as a rock climbing destination; less known for it’s potential for mountain biking. I stopped by to look for lines on the course granite slopes. To my great pleasure, City of Rocks is ride-able. Slick rock it’s not, however. Long cross country tours are out. But this place is a secret free-ride spot with committing lines and drops, flowy but abrupt transitions, and either cactus lined run-outs or cliffs. Potential, indeed.
Shevlin Park, Central Oregon mountain biking
Rarely am I in front of the camera. But today, Angelique Valdez got some shots of me on one of my favorite trail rides in Bend — Shevlin Park loop. A fast sprint with a few rewarding climbs.
Bend in March
In the middle of March, Bend saw nearly 2 feet of snow in the mountains, perfect for riding at Bachelor. Warm, dry weather for biking east of town on Horse Ridge. And in town, demolition, with the intent of rebuilding.
